[Tigers] back to the battery wood packers

[Ron Fraser]

I installed the wood packers I made and as I suspected I needed trim the
bottom wood piece.

 

At the front the wood was riding up on the body – trimmed ¼” so the wood lay
flat

At the rear I did not like all the wood sticking out – trimmed ½” this now
looks better to me.

 

This not a concours car so it is my choice to do so.

 

I  suggest to anyone making your own pieces:

 

Make 1 mount hole then check the position of the 2nd hole by mounting the
wood piece and marking the other hole position

I had to adjust the 2nd mount hole on my side wood piece, the 2nd mount hole
was about 1/16” closer than the drawing.

 

For the bottom wood you might want to make a practice piece to see how it
fits.

I trimmed my plywood piece, which is 1 option or you could easily move the
mount holes slightly in the wood to adjust its position if needed.

 

I’m just pointing out what I see and experienced on my Tiger, yours may
certainly be different, just be observant.
